Okay kiddo, let me break it down for you. Computer science is like playing with really cool toys that help us do all sorts of things on computers, like playing games or creating cool graphics. But do you know what's even cooler? Having lots of different people playing with those toys and making them even better!
African American women are some of those awesome people who are getting interested in computer science. Unfortunately, there aren't as many African American women in computer science as there should be. That's because for a long time, people thought only certain kinds of people were good at playing with those toys. They didn't think girls, or black people, or anyone who wasn't like them could do it.
But that's not true! Anyone can be good at computer science if they work hard and get the right opportunities. African American women are starting to show everyone that they can do it, and they're making some really amazing things with those toys. They're coming up with new ideas, solving problems, and making technology more inclusive for everyone.
Computer science is super important today because it's all around us - from phones to cars to even the things we wear on our bodies. So, we need all kinds of people to help create and improve those things. That's why it's so exciting to see more African American women in computer science. They're not just playing with cool toys, but they're also changing the world!
